Australia is very strict on all sorts of creatures 
They are in the EU too. They glow as a result of gene splicing and the GFP being injected into them so that's why they are illegal in the EU I think. Probably the same for Aus?

Gosh, that's crazy. Do they just want to ensure that they don't breed?
Lol.. it just seems like such a silly thing to be illegal for.. Ya know?

Are axolotls with GFP really elusive ??? or does all color mutants glow ??? considering they have been genetically altered

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? Are they hard to find from breeders? No, as long as you're in the US. Are they shy? No moreso than other axies. GFP axolotls are the only 'morph' (used loosely, as GFP can be applied independently of all other mutations) that fluoresce, and that's only under UV light. They don't actually 'glow'.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside:Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation+1

Clareclare:Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?+1
